What We Design and Build
Every hardscaping and landscaping project we take on, one patio or a whole backyard, is planned and built by one team. These are the services most of our projects are made of.
A full plan for your yard with 3D renders, construction drawings and a planting list, before anything gets built.
Paver patios on a deep, compacted base, laid out for how you actually use your yard.
Irregular flagstone for patios, paths and stepping stones, cut and fitted by hand.
How a Project Works
Four steps from the first conversation to a finished yard.
1. Consultation
We walk the property with you, talk through how you want to use the space and get a sense of budget. First conversations are with our team.
2. Design
6 to 8 weeks. You get a full design with 3D renders, construction plans, building details and a planting list, with revisions until it feels right. The design fee depends on scope and is billed directly by our designer.
3. Build
Our own crews build it. A dedicated project manager handles the schedule, materials and updates, so you always know what’s happening on site.
4. Warranty
Interlock and retaining walls come with a 3-year limited warranty. If something settles, we come back and fix it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a project cost?
Most of our projects range from $25,000 to $500,000+. A single patio or walkway sits near the lower end, and full backyards with walls, planting, lighting and structures sit higher. We talk budget in the first conversation so the design is drawn to a number you’re comfortable with.
How much does design cost, and is it credited to the build?
Design is priced by scope, so the best way to get a number is a consultation. Our designer bills you directly, and the fee isn’t credited toward the build because the design is yours to keep. You can build it with us, phase it over a few seasons, or use it however you like.
How long does a project take?
Design takes 6 to 8 weeks and includes 3D renders, construction plans, building details, a planting list and revisions. Build time depends on the size of the project, and you’ll get a schedule before we start.
What areas do you work in?
Ottawa and the surrounding area, including Kanata, Barrhaven, Orléans, Nepean, Stittsville, Manotick, Westboro and Rockcliffe Park. See all the areas we serve.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. Interlock and retaining walls come with a 3-year limited warranty covering settling and defects. The full terms are in your contract.
When should I book?
Fall and winter are the best time to start. Design takes 6 to 8 weeks, so starting now gets your plans finished and your spot on the schedule before spring. We take on a limited number of projects each season, and we’re booking spring 2027 design consultations now.
